IN. NO COUNTIES ARE INCLUDED. ROADS ARE SHOWN AND TOWNS AND
RIVERS ARE NAMED. VERVER STATES THAT THIS MAP IS DERIVED FROM THE
FRY AND JEFFERSON MAP OF 1754.

DATA IS FROM SABIN, THE NATIONAL UNION CATALOG OF PRE-1956
IMPRINTS, VERNER'S NOTES ON THE MAPS OF VIRGINIA, AND FROM
OBSERVATION OF THE VARIOUS EDITIONS AND STATES OF THE MAP IN THE
HUNTINGFIELD COLLECTION.

EDITION & STATE INFO : FROM PERSONAL OBSERVATION, THERE
ARE AT LEAST FIVE EDITIONS OF THIS MAP IN NUMEROUS STATES. IT IS
UNCERTAIN WHETHER THE EDITION MARKED AS # 2 IS IN THE CORRECT
SEQUENCE, SINCE THUS FAR WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DATE IT ACCURATELY.

ED. 1 - (1757) - STATE 1 - A RIGHT HAND IS SHOWN POINTING TO THE
NOTE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. MOST COPIES OF THIS ISSUE ARE IN
BLACK AND WHITE. THIS IS SEE MAP # 257B5.

- (1780) - ANOTHER ISSUE[STATE?] - THIS MAP ALSO APPEARED IN
JEAN F. DE LA HARPE'S ABREGE DE L'HISTOIRE GENERALE DES VOIAGES,
DE M'L'ABBE PREVOST IN VOL. 22, ATLAS VOLUME, PARIS, 1780,
WHICH IS AN ABRIDGEMENT OF A.F. PREVOST DE EXILES' HISTOIRE DES
VOIAGES, PUBLISHED IN PARIS FROM 1746 TO 1789. THE MAP IS A
PRECISE COPY OF THE 1757 MAP, ACCORDING TO VERNER, WITH A DIFFERENT
TITLE. THE SAME MARKINGS ARE IN THE BOTTOM MARGIN AS ARE NOTED IN
STATE 2. WRITER HAS NOT YET SEEN THIS ISSUE [STATE?] OF THE MAP
AND DOES NOT KNOW HOW, IF AT ALL, IT DIFFERS FROM STATE 2. VERNER
LISTS THIS AS A SEPARATE EDITION. COPIES ARE IN THE LIBRARY OF
CONGRESS AND IN THE MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY. (SEE MAP #
280B4).

- (177_) - STATE 2[?] - ENTITLED "...POUR SERVIR A L'HISTOIRE
PHILOSOPHIQUE & POLITIQUE DES ETABLISSEMENS ET DU COMMERCE DES
EUROPEENS ET DU DEUX INDES. TIREE DES MEILLEURES CARTES
ANGLOISES." (CARTOUCHE, BOTTOM RIGHT). "39." (RIGHT BOTTOM
MARGIN). NOTE UNDER CARTOUCHE HAS A RIGHT HAND POINTING TO IT.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE TOP MARGIN. THE PLATE IMPERFECTIONS IN THE
TOP RIGHT BORDER SUGGEST THAT IT IS A SIMILAR PLATE TO THE PRIOR
STATE. THE EXACT DATE AND BOOK IN WHICH THIS APPEARED HAS NOT YET
BEEN FULLY IDENTIFIED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS EDITIONS OF RAYNAL'S
HISTOIRE PHILOSOPHIQUE ET POLITIQUE DES ETABLISSEMENS ET DU
COMMERCE DES EUROPEENS DAN LES DEUX INDIES, PUBLISHED FROM 1770
THROUGH 1798. SINCE THIS STATE APPEARS TO PRECEED THE ONE DATED
1773 IN THIS LISTING BECAUSE OF COMPARATIVE PLATE IMPERFECTIONS, WE
HAVE TENTATIVELY DATED IT 1770-1773. (SEE MAP # 27_B5).

- (1773) - STATE 3[?] - ENTITLED "....POUR SERVIR A L'HISTOIRE DES
ETABLISSEMENS EUROPEENS. TIREE DES MEILLEURES CARTES ANGLOISES."
A REPRODUCTION OF THIS STATE IS IN THE HUNTINGFIELD COLLECTION.
